    Make your own beer, they said. You'll save money, they said.

    I'm super cheap and have made a lot of my own equipment, some of which I have salvaged from other uses and other people. Some of my new stuff was paid for with gift cards, so that's not much money out of my pocket. However, when we bought our house it included a bar, CO2 tank and keg set up...

    Beer used to be better

    I like to visit breweries in towns where I travel too. It's nice when you find a diamond in the rough, but I think I've seen more that struggle. I've also seen some places start rough, but figure things out and make good beer. The opposite has also happened. There's nothing worse than sitting...

    San Diego's Must Drink and See

    We were there recently. I really liked Duck Foot and Pure Project out by Miramar. If you're a wine drinker at all you could take a day and go up to Temecula.

    Drying Whole hops

    Are the leaves dry because you're that late in picking the hops, or did they get a disease of some kind? All mine got a disease last year and the hops never fully matured. If they just dried on the vine you might be OK.

    Your most-hated song

    Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something....is there a word stronger than hate? I'm not a fan of the Beatles at all, but Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is particularly awful, even for them.

    Game of Thrones

    I liked the ending mostly. It was a good ending for Sansa and Arya. Tyrion was really the star, Everything he said had a lot of meaning. The only thing I had serious questions about, is what happened to Jon after he killed Dany. They just fast forwarded, seemingly at least a month. I was...

    Game of Thrones

    I agree, I think the criticism here has been reasonable, not nearly as ridiculous as I have seen in other places. The show probably just started as a following of the book, then they ran out of that material, and had to get to a predetermined ending that was never meant to happen as fast as it...

    Game of Thrones

    I can understand why people say its rushed. The writers had to go without a book to follow, and they had a deadline in which they had to bring all these characters flung to all corners of the world together for the very end. I'm sure the books if they are ever finished will hash how we got to...

    Game of Thrones

    People's expectations for the show were so high it would have been impossible for the show to meet those expectations. I prefer to just watch and be entertained, and that's worked pretty well for me. You also have those people who subscribed to a certain Theory and are now upset and...

    Game of Thrones

    A couple of thoughts. Is is just me, or does every honorable thing Jon does blow up in his face? He renounces his claim to the throne and thousands of people die. I was watching Dany on her dragon with the battle won, then all of a sudden she loses it and goes full disaster mode. I said, "oh...

    Game of Thrones

    I think Bran was Warging to lure the Night King to the Godswood. Also, When he showed up his whole army stood aside. They didn't react when Theon charged, so if Arya was there, why would they react to her? What would have been better is if Bran was able to Warg into Theon at that point and force...

    Game of Thrones

    I was so worried that they were going to end the episode with the Night King pulling out his spear for Bran. Then Arya comes running in, and there's hope, then the Night King catches her by the throat, I worried she might die, then you see the dagger falling and you know its the end for The...

    Growing a SCOBY from store bought Kombucha - really dumb noob question

    I just made my own SCOBY for the first time. I mixed the kombucha with a tea and sugar mix. They say you leave the first batch alone until a SCOBY forms, so if you just have the komucha, I would think you could add some tea and sugar to that to help the SCOBY form, you'll most likely be throwing...
